I decided to make a 2x2 system of verb stems and personal endings to form the four fundamental moods of Denkurian. The verb stems are called direct and indirect, whereas the personal ending sets are called primary and secondary. The various combinations yield moods thusly:
direct + primary = indicative mood direct + secondary = imperative mood indirect + primary = subjunctive mood indirect + secondary = optative mood This simplifies verb formation just a bit. Also, the following words were added to the lexicon: zapto - n. weapon, arm (armament) zeina - adv. always zezeina - adv. forever, evermore

I changed the formation of the optative mood to make it more internally consistent. The optative is based on historical formant *-ka, which is attached to the present subjunctive form. The past optative is formed by adding the past formant *-u to it, forming *-ko, and the irrealis formant *-i, is added to the present optative to form the future optative formant *-ke. See the verb page for a summary of the tense formants.
Also, here are some new words: walathi v. to feast, to celebrate spyauwe adj. clear It's been a long time since a blog post. My main conlang now is Denkurian, a mostly IE-inspired a priori conlang. You can find some more info in the navigation bar above. Here below are some new words I recently coined:
godathi v. to become. irr. pst. godot. laukhethi v. to need. nehimain adv. please. (from future optative of nehothi v. to be possible) toskethi v. to meet. ijothi v. to suffice; to be enough. I also simplified and clarified the verb mood and tense requirements for conditional statements: |
